COVID-19 Relief Fund for WA Undocumented Folks

As you’ve heard, Congress recently passed a COVID-19 relief packet. However, this direct payment assistance excludes vulnerable undocumented workers, and their U.S. citizen children who will also be deprived of vital aid if they’re head of their household, or anyone in their family files their tax return with an ITIN. Studies show that about half of Latinx individuals have at least one member of their household whose pay has been cut, or who has lost their job due to the COVID-19 outbreak. This is compared to 33% of all adults in the U.S. who are experiencing this same difficult situation. Undocumented Washingtonians cannot file for unemployment insurance, health insurance, and most safety net programs.

Funds will be distributed as soon as possible. If you know anyone who is of need of this assistance you can apply at the link below. Folks who need help filling out the form can call the WAISN hotline at 1-844-724-3737!

If you and/or your organization would like to be a partner of this fund, you can help fund raise and apply for grants in the region. Please reach out to the Washington Dream Coalition at wadreamers1@gmail.com
